Luftwaffe Officer's Visor Cap and Luftwaffe Enlisted Field Cap

1) The Officer's visor cap is constructed with a dark blue/gray wool crown and a woven black band, this cap is trimmed with silver wire piping, with an embroidered Luftwaffe eagle and cockade on the front, a silver wire chinstrap, and a black/green patent leather visor. The interior is marked "EREL" on the gray leather sweatband, "53 1/2" on a paper tag in the rear, and silver "EREL/Sonderklasse/Privat" maker's marks on the yellow rayon lining beneath the sweat diamond. Consignor notes indicate this cap as being formerly of the George Petersen collection, who in turn acquired it at a German show in the 1970s. 2) The enlisted field cap is constructed with a dark blue/gray cloth, with two aluminum buttons on the ear flaps, an alloy wire Luftwaffe eagle patch, brown leather sweatband and a white rayon lining. A faint marking, possibly "7", is visible inside the crown.

Condition1) The Officer's visor cap is very good, with light handling marks overall and mild staining of the interior. The lining is torn/detached in the left rear of the cap. 2) The enlisted field cap is good overall, some thinning of the material is visible, and the interior shows age appropriate sweat staining. The eagle patch is stitched through the inner lining, and has come loose at the bottom of the swastika.
